MILLIONS DIE BY BUBONIC draining Makes Sharpshooters, Handful of Whom Could Fight Army Camp Perry Puts Skill to Very Severe Test. CAMP PERRT. Port Clinton. O.. Aug. 17. (Staff Correspondence.) One thousand of America's best riflemen are under can vas on the south shore of Lake Bile' for participation in the National rifle tourna ments, which are now being got under way. From Florida to Maine and from Oregon to New Mexico men who can drive a bullet straight have made the pil grimage to Camp Perry to try for a Na tional trophy or a medal of honor. Teams from the regular Army, Marine Corps, NavyVand United States training schools and from nearly every state in the Union are here to enter the struggle for suprem acy. The competition will be watched with interest, not only in the United States, but abroad. The value of the present-day soldier is determined by his ability to shoot straight. The flshting ability of Uncle Sam's regular and volunteer forces may therefore be largely judged by the marksmanship displayed during the tour nament. Government Foots Bills. The tournaments are fostered by the Government, which foots most of the bills. The various competitions are planned and conducted by the National Board for the Promotion of Rifle Prac tice. The benefits extend not only to those that are actively engaged on the range, but to the thousands of guards men and regulars throughout the coun try, who try to win places on the, vari ous teams. It is a movement to develop a nation of sharpshooters and since one sharpshooter Is worth from five to ten ordinary shots in actual service, the value of the training Is obvious, tacperts ae clare that the 1000 riflemen In camp here could be pitted against a brigade success fully. During the five years that the National shoots have been held interest In marks manship has spread rapidly. The first tournament at Sea Ulrt, A. J., attracted comparatively few teams. The second year brought a marked Increase of at tendance, and this year the majority of the state guards are represented. Sev eral civilian shooting organizations are also on hand. Wind Tests Men's Skill. The Camp Perry range is in many re spects ideal for the National tournaments. It hugs the south shore of Lake Brie, several miles west from Sandusky, O., and the targets are so arranged as to give the marksmen a northern light all day. The wind, which seems perennial, makes it necessary for marksmen to use their Judg ment in rating it. The sharpshooter who has found himself able to score a bullseye every shot in calm weather is apt to find himself ridiculously low in his first few tryouts here. With a 6 o'clock wind one instant and the indicator at 8 o'clock one second later, the successful marksman must keep his wits about him every in stant that he is on the line. This difficult condition Is regarded as al together desirable in official circles,' in asmuch as it throws the competitors on their resources and increases their utility for active service where all manner of conditions might have to be contended with. The man who can clip a hole in an eight-Inch bullseye at from 500 to 1000 yards during a gale can be depended upon to perforate the head of a foe under most any conditions. And It is for just such unhappy work that the marksman is trained, for so long as the world is tena cious of its barbarian Instincts and insists upon breeding wars now and then it is well to be prepared. There is no better course of training for soldiers than to teach them to shoot. Oregon Team at Practice. Oregon's Infantry team, one of the first to get on the ground, is ready, aiier sev eral days of preliminary work on the range, to enter the National competitions. The men have become adjusted to the conditions obtaining on the Ouio range. In this they have had to overcome con siderable difficulty In mastering changes of wind velocity. The breezes work 24 hours a day and change in velocity pos sibly a dozen times an hour. To learn the trick of cheating the T.ind in firing Is no trifling feat. Thus far the Ore gonians have piled up good scores on long and short distant ranges as well as In slow and rapid tiring. There is every indication that the team will give an ex cellent account of itself. At Sea Girt last year the Oregon marksmen finished ahead of 23 competing rule teams of the 42 entered in the Na tional competition. The state has an even stronger team this year and is confi dent of making an even better showing. First place, of course, is not even thought of, although Oregon Intends to finish ahead of say oo of the 45 teams entered. Adjutant-General VV. E. Finzer is in command of the team, with jTirst lieutenant G. EL Houch as coach. Thus far the team has confined .ls preliminary work to skirmish runs, making a team average of 70 out of a possible 100. The Washington team is camped a short distance from ti.o Oregon camp, and the Montana delegation is near at hand. A Caiuornia team is expected shortly. The states that already have their teams in the field are New Tork, New Jersey, Pennsylvania. Delaware, Maryland. North Carolina, Georgia, New Hampshire, Vermont. Massachusetts, Il linois, Ohio, Indiana, Missouri, Arkan sas, Colorado and Oklahoma. Additions to the list are being made dally. The reg ular service teams are all nere and In clude representations from the cavalry. Infantry, navy, marine corps. West .oint and Annapolis. Sounds Like Ileal Battle. From now until well along Into Septem ber the Camp Perry range will be a battlefield, so far as sounds ' are con cerned. From the opening of the range at 7 A. M. until nearly dark an Incessant rifle fire is being Kept up. Bvery shot fired costs an average of four cents and a fraction, so that tne cost to the Gov ernment runs into thousands of dollars per day for ammunition alone. The men engaged In the shoot receive regular army pay, which falls far short of meet ing their expenses, so that it is neces sary for tne riflemen to make consider able sacrifice in attending the tourna ment. The rifle matches of the National Rifle Association and of the Ohio Rifle Asso ciation are being held in conjunction with the National tournament, which opens August 28. The Oregon team will be among the competitors in ine National team match, which conssista. of - rapid Plague's Ravages In India Call Forth Message From King. LONDON. Aug. 19. (Special Cable Dis patch to the New York Sun.) The bu bonic plague in Indiai statistics of which have from time to time been printed by the Sun. has reached such a pitch that although the most 'extreme efforts have been made to cope with the disease. King Edward has written to the Viceroy a let ter which is made public today. It says: 'My Dear Viceroy: I have followed with anxious Interest the later course of that epidemic by which India for 11 years past has been so sorely afflicted. The welfare of my Indian subjects must ever be to me an object of high concern, and I am deeply moved when I think of the misery that has been borne with such silent pa tience in all those stricken homes. "I am well aware how unremitting have been the efforts of your excellency's pre decessors and yourself to make out the causes of the pestilence and mitigate its effects. "It is my earnest hope and prayer that the further measures now being prepared by your excellency in consultation with zealous and able officers may be crowned with merciful success. I desire that you communicate this expression of my heart felt sympathy to my Indian subjects. Be lieve me, sincerely yours. "EDWARD R. I." The figures of the plague mortality, as given in the latest blue book, are appall ing. From 52,800 deaths In 1900. the deaths had grown in 1904 to 1.143,900. In 1905 there was a decrease to 1.069.100, but the present year, it is feared, will show record proportions. In the first three and a half months of 1907 there were 495,000 deaths recorded. The total re corded deaths from 1SS9 to 1905 were 4,177,200. UNITE FOR LABOR PEACE Van Cleave Starts Movement to Com bine All Employers. Is'BW TORK. Aug. 19. Delegates from various manufacturing and employers' associations met here today and dis cussed the proposition to form a National federation which shall have for its pur pose the furtherance of peace in the In dustrial world by combining the efforts of all the employing Interests. The meeting, which was held behind closed doors, at the Waldorf-Astoria, was presided over by James W. Van Cleave, of St. Louis, president of the National Association of Manufacturers. After a general discus sion of the proposition. It was decided to adjourn In order to permit the delegates to return to their homes and consult with the organizations which they represent regarding the projected National federa tion. The meeting today was called by the National Association of Manufacturers, which met here last May. Mr. Van Cleave said today's meeting was called to form an organization which would en deavor to "institute an educational cam paign, which would endeavor to promote industrial peace and mutual goodwill be tween employers and employed." He said that the organization did not propose to crush labor unions. Officers of the National Association of Manufac turers hope to Induce the new federation to incorporate the platform of the manu facturers' association, which, in part, stands for the open shop, no limitation of output, no boycott and no sympathetic trlkes. HARRIMAN FOOLS NEWPORT Lets Steward Take High Dive So ciety-Wants to See. NEWPORT, Aug. 16. All Newport, or at least the curious part of it, sat up until 6 o'clock this morning on the strength of a statement that Edward H. Harriman was going to do a high dive for his nerves from the main truck of his yacht, the Sultana, which arrivea yester day. At 6 o'clock this morning rowboats, launches with muffled engines, and all kinds of spyglasses were out. Suddenly there was a splash and the boats began circling about a figure in the water. "Where is Mr. Harriman?" shouted a man with a megaphone. "He's not aboard, sir," came back In a gurgling answer. "And who are you?" Insisted the mega phone man. "I'm the steward, sir," the answer came straight and true; 'but I'm a goner, if you people don't get back and give me a chance to get on deck again. Mr. Harriman Is just now In California, but Newport doesn't mln cat; it saw a Bteward take an early morning plunge.

DISEMBOWELED, BUT HE LIVES ti. O. Crowder, a Logger, Meets With a Frightful Accident. SPOKANE, Wash., Aug. 23. (Special.) L. O.
